R. A. Wood Associates is a consulting company specializing in providing innovative engineering solutions for today's industries, utilizing state-of-the-art computer technology and computer programming. Our specialty is in the field of RF and microwave systems design and manufacturing.
Our capabilities and services include, but are not limited to:
Our amazing team has used its experience to create a "Remote Asynchronous Microwave Measurement System", or RAMMS. With a small portable battery-operated wideband transmitter set to run autonomously at an Antenna or remote location, and a downstream Receiver measuring the signals transmitted, the whole RF path from Antenna to Receiver can be measured, tested and adjusted if needed. This is great for long distances. There is no synchronizing connection required between the transmitter and receiver. It's all very portable, fitting in a pelican weatherproof case. RF path gain/loss vs frequency is accurate to within a few tenths of a dB. Frequency coverage is 10 MHz to 20 GHz. The easy to use software provides analysis and reports of the performance.
The Engineers Gone Wild! team did a great job and completed the General Clinton Grand Prix Relay Race going from Oneonta to Bainbridge, NY on the Susquehanna River (~30 miles), facing rain, cold, and high water. Great fun and great job everybody!
We will be entering in the General Clinton Grand Prix Relay Race on Saturday, May 24, going from Oneonta to Bainbridge on the Susquehanna River (~30 miles). The race is a 5-leg, 10-person relay race using an aluminum canoe. The races have been running since 1963, including a 70 mile race on Sunday from Cooperstown to Bainbridge on the Susquehanna River, labeled the World's Longest Single Day Flat Water Canoe Race. Our team consists of employees, previous employees, people we work with, and extended family members. It should be a great adventure for all of us!
Hi Everyone!
We will soon have a 2nd location in the former GE Electronics Park in Syracuse, NY. This will allow us to provide support closer to our customers in the Syracuse area. The location is:

Hi Everyone! The initial results for the EW Configurable Filter Module (EWCFM) look really impressive. We've created a connectorized module comprised of a surface mount Tunable filter, Gain Block Amp, Tunable Filter, Gain Block Amp, and 15.5 dB Attenuator. Initial results were taken stepping a 2 GHz bandwidth across 2-18 GHz in 500 MHz steps. An internal microcontroller stores up to 32 filter and attenuator states which can be customized for the user's needs. This surface mount assembly will provide significant improved reliability compared to "chip and wire" techniques using beam lead diodes. A preliminary Product Data Sheet can be viewed.
